What NBA game were you watching, because there's no way you could have been enjoying the Jazz! Oh wait, you're a lame Lakers fan! Traitor!!!

Glad to hear the knee is doing better...six more days until running?

Actually I was enjoying the Lakers. Oh by the way isn't it great to know the lakers are beating the Jazz out of the last playoff spot? Anyways 5 more days because today is Monday.

Thanks Spence! Rehab is going great, biked about 35 miles this week and hit the pool for 60 minutes and did 200 meters of water running, which killed me by the way, and got 1600 meters of swimming in. Dr. Says 4 more weeks though til I can hit the pavement unfortunately. But I will keep busy in the mean time. Goal is Des News Marathon in July for the comeback!

Wait, you're a lakers fan?

[removing from friend list...]

Actually, I couldn't care less about the NBA but I'm definitely not a fan of the Lakers. But to each their own
